When the bronchiole constricts which will happen to resistance?
decrease in oxygen provided to the alveoli
Would vasoconstriction of the renal arteries decrease blood flow to the kidneys?
Yes. If you constrict the afferent arteriole then renal blood flow will decrease.
Do capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps
What is a local decrease in blood flow?
titty sprinkles
Does blood flow more when you are taking prescibed medications?
Some medications increase blood flow, like inotropics. Others, like vasoconstrictors, may decrease blood flow.
Why do blood capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps
What is ventilation-perfusion coupling?
Matching the amount of gas reaching the alveoli to the blood flow in pulmonary capillaries
What is the definition of the decrease in the amount of blood flow to a section of the heart?
infarction
Does exercise increase or decrease the flow of the blood in muscle capillaries?
Increase
Would skeletal muscles experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
I could be wrong but, I think it would decrease your blood flow
Is dermal blood supply part temperature regulation?
Yes. The body can increase blood flow to the dermis where heat will be lost or it will decrease flow to conserve heat.
How can the vascular system increase blood flow to specific area of the body?
Except in cases of massive blood loss, it's not the job of the vessels to increase or decrease blood flow, but of the capillary beds.
